DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Their Time Is Now

I would not advise anyone to read all the negative comments below, I really cant stand when people make reviews as if they are movie/tv critics - Maybe people should watch shows that they want to and keep the negative comments to themselves.

This is a n enjoyable show - if you are like me an djust get home and want to watch something without too much thought or enjoy a good series that is simply enjoyable then this is that show. You have to get to season 3. Season 1 was great and 2 okay but 3 gets better.

Apart from my disgust at the direction of this series, I have to say, I can't stand Sara's voice! Do that species of not mainstream people have to adopt that voice?

If you're wondering whether the show is for you or not, don't listen to the wannabe film critics who pretend that they know anything about Cinematography, lighting scenes or dialogue or script writing. Watch it for yourself; not because I suggest that you do & not because this "documentary" tells you to either.

All it's for is introducing the characters, almost ALL of whom you'll already know if you watch the other DC shows like Arrow & Flash.

Getting past all of that, I'll tell you why I enjoy this show so much. For one thing, it doesn't take itself overly seriously. There are absolutely moments of seeing the characters facing tragic situations. However, with the shows that are written with more darkness like Arrow or can be a little TOO drama filled from episode to episode sometimes like Flash.

Legends takes the characters from those two shows, with the occasional crossover between the four of them, and yes, it's the very predictable setup where you root for the underdogs. But that doesn't make the show any less fun.

I really enjoy the banter between characters, the Easter eggs or references to other roles the actors have played but it doesn't steal the focus either.

They bicker, blow up at each other, make an absolute mess of history but they have fun doing it and even more fun trying to fix it.

There's a lot of slapstick level jokes made and when things do get serious, they all do everything they can to pull themselves & each other up by the britches.

They're not the best show with the long, drawn out storylines that get overly producedi..Howard to5nqathpu.phipqobkpi

The plot is thin some of the time, the acting reminds me of some of the 50's serial space programs but Caity Lotz has all the smooth moves for picking up women. Its like watching a female Captain Kirk!

This show had promise - for the first 20 minutes of the first episode, but after that, the motto, "Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Enter Here," kept running thru my mind and I could not turn it off. I stuck it out for 8 episodes, ("Hope springs Eternal") but once again yet another CW show falls victim to excruciatingly poor writing. I'd guess the writing is around the level of a 15 year old, except when they are fighting. Then it drops down to what I remember myself being at 12 and playing Cowboys and Indians. I liked it best when the Indians won, and in this show, well...

The show centers around time travel and the Time Masters, a group who watch over various time periods. So, this should be cool to have people travel thru time, yes? Shouldn't be too hard to make it interesting. No fear. It's not.

There is the customary genius (Victor Garber), the customary Angry Men, and two women, one of whom is an assassin, and the other can, thru a totem she wears, take on the powers of whatever animal she mentally envisions.

The story lines are decent, but one wonders if anyone took acting classes. Each person runs the entire gamut of emotion from A to B, as Dorothy Parker once said of a performance by Katharine Hepburn (look 'er. up if you're that young). That is to say, not much range. The travels thru time never include adapting the speech of the times, and oddly enough, the local people- no matter what century - seem to also speak in 20th century English. This lessens the ability to suspend disbelief. In fact, if you turn the volume off and just watch the expressions, you'd be able to tell the plot just by their actions. I hope to, one day, actually watch a show on CW that doesn't remind me of watching and listening to a group of adolescents. But this is not that show.
